Embodiment
The power supply that the present invention is used for led light source provides power to the varying number LED that connects with the serial or parallel connection pattern.Described power supply uses current feedback to be adjusted to the power of LED and to provide protection to circuit and fault.
Fig. 2 illustrates the power supply block diagram that be used for led light source made according to the present invention.The single phase alternating current (A.C.) input is provided in the square frame 100 and by AC/DC transducer 102 and converts direct current to.Power converter 104 is adjusted to the power of LED.Based on a feedback signal that is illustrated in the electric current electricity error that is produced in the comparator 108, power converter 104 is adjusted to the power of LED.Current sensor 110 measures the electric current of LED 106 and the current signal of a sensing is provided.In routine as shown in Figure 2 present embodiment, demand limiter 112 limits from the sensed current signal of current sensor 110 and prevents that excessive feedback signal from arriving power converter 104.In other embodiments, demand limiter 112 can be omitted, and maybe can be installed between comparator 108 and the power converter 104, with direct limit feedback signal.The output of demand limiter 112 with compare at the reference current 114 at comparator 108 places, this comparator provides a feedback signal based on the output of demand limiter and the difference between the reference current 114.This feedback signal is imported into power converter 104.
Fig. 3 illustrates the power supply schematic diagram that be used for led light source made according to the present invention.Described power supply uses a kickback transformer to power to the led light source of varying number, and described transformer has the current feedback by a power factor corrector.
Voltage is provided at V INThe power supply of electromagnetic interface filter 120 is led at the place.This voltage can be to exchange input and typically be at 120/230V RMSUnder 50/60 hertz.The electromagnetic interference that described electromagnetic interface filter 120 hinders at input.AC/DC transducer 122 can be a bridge rectifier and the interchange of electromagnetic interface filter 120 output is converted to direct current.Transformer 124 comprises elementary winding W1 and secondary winding W2, W3, W4 and W5.Winding W1/W2 forms kickback transformer to power to LED 126.Based on specific application, for example throw light on or sign, LED 126 can be white or colored LED.LED 126 can be several LED that are connected with the serial or parallel connection or the combination form of series connection and parallel circuits on demand.Kickback transformer is subjected to PFC 128 controls, and described PFC 128 is integrated circuits of a power factor corrector, as the L6561 type of being made by SGS-Thomson Microelectronics S. R. L..Kickback transformer with power factor corrector configuration is widely used, and is used to provide the fixed voltage DC power supply of the insulation with high linear power factor.
Kickback transformer will arrive the Current Control of LED 126 a desired value.The forward converter operation of winding W1/W3 is with capacitor C3 charging, and a reference current signal is created between series resistance R4 and the Zener Z2.The crest voltage at capacitor C3 two ends depends on the turn ratio of W1/W3.Output dc voltage from winding W1/W2 flyback operation can not be used to produce the reference current signal, because the output dc voltage at LED 126 two ends can have a very wide scope, from about 32 volts of direct currents of 2.6 volts of direct current to eight series LEDs of a LED lamp.Can also substitute with the operation of the forward converter of winding W1/W3.The operation of the forward converter of W1/W3 and W1/W5 winding also can be used to integrated circuit such as PFC 128 and current controller 130 power supplies.
The current signal of sensing is created within resistance R 1 two ends, and R1 connects with LED 126.The current signal and the reference current signal of institute's sensing are compared in current controller 130.Current controller 130 can be the operational amplifier control circuit of a ratio type.The feedback signal that comes from current controller 130 drives an optical coupler 132.Current controller 130 is essential, because optical coupler has the current transfer ratio (CTR) of a wide range.Current controller 130 is kept a precise current feedback signal, therefore avoid error big in the LED electric current, optical coupler 132 will be the DC circuit of LED 126 power supply and alternating current circuit isolated from power at electromagnetic interface filter 120 places, and described two circuit are in the opposite face of transformer 124.
The output of optical coupler 132 is connected to PFC 128, and described PFC 128 supplies with a gate drive signal to MOSFET (mos field effect transistor) Q1.MOSFET
Q1 supplies a transformer control signal, be used for regulating electric current by transformer 124 winding W1 so that be complementary with LED 126 current requirements, current signal and reference current signal until institute's sensing in current controller 130 equate, so feedback error signal reaches zero.The LED current requirements is met, and does not therefore need further action.The internal compensation circuit of inner 2.5 volts of reference signals and PFC 128 maintains 2.5 volts with the voltage drop at resistance R 6 two ends.Though this example uses MOSFET Q1 to be used to regulate transformer current, embodiment as an alternative can use the transistor of other type to regulate electric current, for example igbt (IGBT) or bipolar transistor.At Z CDThe input of locating PFC 128 provides a reset signal by winding W1/W4 power supply.
With reference to figure 3, Zener diode Z1 provides overvoltage protection for LED 126.Connect by output, Zener diode Z1 is connected to LED 126, and output voltage is clamped on the output voltage of regulation.Specified Zener operating voltage is selected in and just exceeds maximum regulation output voltage.Under the situation of output open circuit, the flyback of transformer 124 winding W1/W2 operation will continue to set up output voltage.The output voltage that increases is opened Zener diode Z1, thereby has increased the current signal of sensing, and it has limited the feedback signal from current controller conversely.The gate drive signal that this has just limited MOSFET Q1 prevents that output voltage that flyback converter will arrive LED126 is created as the maximum voltage of overshoot.Similarly, the Zener diode Z3 that is connected to resistance R 6 from the winding W4 that resets shown in Figure 3 will prevent the output over-voltage that causes because of LED current control system fault.In alternative embodiment, depend on the desired protection class of special application, no matter be Zener diode Z1 or Zener diode Z3, or Zener diode Z1 and Zener diode Z3 the two all can be omitted.
